Why don’t they just keep their traditional arts... I mean, there are Enough mobile games designs outside. I do enjoy cute and round and Japanese cartoon like games but Neo should not be one.

That's a yikes from me, dawg. Looks nothing like the site art, they desperately need to fix their actual product, nobody wants this! What the hell! Every announcement makes me less hopeful for the site. SLT is clearly throwing money at the wall and hoping something sticks, instead of focusing on their existing product. I expect in <1 yr we'll see layoffs at JumpStart.

I like 1, 2, and 3 in that order. But god I am sick to death of new 3-in-a-row games. I'll try Island Builders once it's fully out but why not make a plot-driven game? People have been clamoring for neopets plots for ages
They should have chosen a different yellow petpet than a Poppit, because their rendition of it is totally unrecognizable... Like a warf maybe?
I really don't like any of these, and the fact they're making another game when Island Builders is trash (I believe the news with that right now is that the devs totally broke the beta, and tell everyone who asks for help with glitches that they can't help them, lol) and L&L got shut down so fast. Messy TNT.

At first glance, they reminded me of the Disney Emoji Blitz characters, without the immediately recognizable art:
Hoping they are developing a new on site game as opposed to mobile but how ever will they make a quick buck from that...

Honestly, I'm a sad panda. The more time passes, the more I become convinced that TNT is okay with abandoning the site in favor of throwing money at the mobile apps. We've had four within the past few years, and yet the main site can't even handle flash conversion in small portions. The new site beta is still a nightmare that no one wants to use. The staff are self-destructive, with no coherent set of rules, that rule over the site like tyrannical over lords, and our words go completely unheard 99% of the time.
Instead of any change toward the site, we get apps. Not even good ones like Keyquest or Habitarium. We get another puzzle clone.
How are people this bad at running a business?
Yeah, not playing this.
The most beginner level BC entries have more care and soul put into them than those petpet redesigns. I don't even think the redesigns are bad, or bad because they're different from the original petpet designs. It's just the fact that they were made for another generic mobile app that nobody asked for, just to cash in on a dead virtual pet site brand. Betting the game will be full of microtransactions too.
I miss Keyquest
It's amazing how well Neopets can waste its own intellectual property and throw time and money away making it look like its own ripoffs. Neopets was the first and has a very distinct and simple design that is aesthetically pleasing and is already known by an entire generation of players. But they insist on throwing it away. We are full of shitty ripoffs with this 3D bubbly design and they all suck. Neopets is more primitive than those and is actively trying to trash all of its strong points.
There is no way anyone at the top has ever played this game seriously.
